2. There are many advantages to using compressed air in modern production
environments, however,
compressed air is one of the most expensive forms of energy!
More than 90% of the energy used for its production is lost in the form of
heat and mechanical or other losses. In addition, leaks are a regular occurrence
due to the often extensive pipeline systems and the difficulty in detecting
possible leaks.
The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy is the ideal measuring system
for checking entire compressed air networks and existing
measurement technology,
for compressed air balancing within plants and production environments,
for individual measurement of virtually any compressed air branch,
and therefore the tool of choice for detecting and quantifying leaks.
Compressed air flow measurement
in the automotive industry
Production technology in the highly
automated automotive industry largely
depends on the use of compressed air.
Many of the tools applied on the assembly
lines are powered pneumatically. Since it
is expensive to generate compressed air,
its supply must be continuously optimised.
For this reason, flow rates in the plant
are measured and consumption rates are
recorded. Non-intrusive ultrasonic flow
measurement allows for an analysis of
the system during ongoing operation.
By using the FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy,
a single measurement system allows for
the gradual acquisition of flow rates at
different measuring points.
The clamp-on ultrasonic transducers are
simply mounted on the outside of the pipe
at the relevant measuring points, without
any necessary pipework and associated
shutdowns. Based on the information
obtained in regard to the flow direction,
flow rates and consumption, compressors
can be operated much more efficiently
and further optimisation measures can
be developed. In addition to that, the
portable measuring system is used to
diagnose leakages on days during plant
shutdowns.
The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy, the ideal system for monitoring
compressed air systems.

The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy offers maximum flexibility
Measurements with the highest possible accuracy on pipes with nominal
diameters between DN50 and DN300 and from a pressure level of 5 bar
upwards (on plastic pipes from atmospheric pressure).
The ultrasonic transducers are mounted on the outside of the pipe – there is
no need for any pipework, process interruption or ventilation for installation.
The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy itself can never be the source of leaks – in
complete contrast to conventional flowmeters for compressed air applications.
The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy is highly flexible and versatile and can be used
almost anywhere. As a result, old-fashioned, permanent logger-based
measurements are a thing of the past.
Advantages:
A single measurement system for
a multitude of measuring points
No risk of leakage
No pressure losses
Bidirectional measurement: simple
recognition of the flow direction

3. The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy – also an ideal companion for monitoring
thermal energy flows in buildings and facility management
The FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy not only offers accurate flow measurement of
compressed air and industrial gases but can also be used for Thermal Energy /
BTU balancing in liquid media based heating and air-conditioning systems or
heat exchangers. Its accuracy and reliability is therefore unrivalled, due to both
the carefully selected and matched 4-wire PT100/1000 temperature sensors and
also the enthalpy curves embedded in the device.
Thermal energy
balancing within facility management
In order to identify the energy savings
potential of a building, first of all its entire
energy situation must be recorded and ana-
lysed. For overall energy consumption, it is
particularly important to check the relevant
plants for heating, air conditioning and
production of domestic hot water.
This is when the portable
FLUXUS®
G601 CA Energy flowmeter is
used to determine the actual thermal
energy balance of a heating or cooling plant
directly through empirical measurements.
Temperatures in the supply and return
lines are measured using highly accurate
temperature sensors. Flow measurement
is carried out using the clamp-on transduc-
ers. With two available flow measurement
channels and four temperature inputs to
determine the thermal energy flow volume,
the respective heat or cooling flows can
simultaneously be detected at two measur-
ing points in order to ensure the various
outputs are balanced. Data loggers and
various interfaces allow for an easy transfer
of measured values to a PC which can then
be displayed graphically and analysed with
FluxData diagnostic software.
